Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "That puts me at ease. Let's do this. Let Zhang Maodu go to Wuji. Didn't his ancestors come from Changsha Prefecture? Let him be the internal historian of Wuling and help Wuji.
Go and govern the southern Hunan area. I gave Yu Yue a chance, but he refused to go because he was ill. No matter what, I don’t think Zhang Maodu would refuse what these noble families don’t want. Sooner or later, one day, what Yu Yue wants will not be available to him.
He got it."
Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly: "In the past few days, Wuji is selecting and recruiting some children from aristocratic families who are willing to follow him back to Jiangzhou. I heard that your subordinate Wang Hong also intends to follow him."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Wang Hong is, after all, the son of the former mafia guard White Tiger Wang Xun. He may always feel that he will be jealous and restricted by me. Plus, now that he is running Jiangbei, it seems that there will be no war. In the short term,
It is not easy to perform meritorious service within the shogunate. Besides, in our shogunate, with Xie Hui and Fu Liang present, he does not have any advantage. It might be better for him to be reused under Wuji. Wuji wants to pacify Lingnan and eliminate it.
Demon thieves also need elite soldiers and strong generals. With Wang Hong and Zhang Maodu, two outstanding sons of aristocratic families, I believe they can help him manage the prefectures and counties well and accumulate troops, money and food. Currently, Yin Chan and Kong Ningzi in his mansion
After all, they can only recite poems and compose poems. They are literati, not administrators."
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "I think so too. Since the Jin Dynasty has not been internally pacified, it is not a wise move for you to think about the Northern Expedition. In fact, Western Shu can still be spared, but the demon thieves in Lingnan are our natural enemies.
, must not stay behind.”
Liu Yu sighed: "I also want to eliminate the demon thieves right away, but Lingnan is too far apart after all, and Jingzhou has been newly pacified. If we want to conquer Lingnan now, we need to recruit Jingzhou's soldiers, horses, money and food, and I'm afraid it will cause new turmoil.
I put the Taoist regulations in Jingzhou just to appease the people in Jingzhou and stop thinking about war within a few years."
Xu Xianzhi smiled and said: "So, you handed over the relatively less damaged Jiangzhou to Wuji and asked him to recruit troops and adjust food here, and actually assigned the Xiangnan area that originally belonged to Jingzhou to Wuji to monitor Lingnan.
I just want to use Jiangzhou’s manpower and material resources to eliminate the demon thieves. Dao Bi will be his logistics behind so that he has no worries, right?”
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, including good generals like Wang Zhene and Tan Daoji, I have also placed them in Jingzhou, so that if the battle ahead is unfavorable, I can bring Jingzhou soldiers and horses to support Wuji. Xile and I have achieved both
In terms of achievements, only Wuji has not achieved great achievements by leading the army independently. He himself is quite anxious about this, so I will give him this opportunity no matter what. Even if I want to make the Northern Expedition in the future, I will only take action after he has pacified Lingnan.
.”
Xu Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I feel relieved when you say that. Before I came to you, what I was most afraid of was that you would send troops to the north to attack Nanyan in advance to fight against Xile. In this way, I would not only offend the noble family, but also
You are at odds with Xi Le, there are still monsters and thieves in the country, and internal troubles such as Xi Shu have not been quelled. If you are not careful, the country will fall into ruin. If you have already planned to control the internal affairs first, then accumulate troops to gather food, and evacuate the aristocratic families, etc.
If we launch a large-scale Northern Expedition when the time comes, how can I have any differences with you?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Maybe it's because we have been together less and apart more in the past two years, and we have been separated for too long, so some things have not been communicated well. But now that we have made it clear, everything is fine. You see, I am leaving here.
Some people, when will you come back to help me?"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "Don't worry for now. I am at Sima Dewen's place now and can help you monitor him. In fact, I have mentioned so many hidden dangers in various aspects before, but the biggest one is Sima. This time you can help
They succeeded in restoring the country, but these guys still didn't appreciate it and still tried their best to seize power. Before Jingzhou was pacified, Sima Guofan rebelled, and Sima Rongqi's son Sima Chuzhi killed his father.
The blame is on you and Mao Xiuzhi, but he did not reflect on Yang Chengzu who killed his father, but he found it himself. When he saw that Sima Guofan had rebelled, he also spread rumors among the Sima clan that you wanted to change the dynasty and eradicate the Sima clan.
, ran to join Sima Guofan, Sima Daogong, Sima Shunming and others."
Liu Yu sighed: "I really didn't expect that there are people like the Sima family in this world who repay kindness with hatred and have no sense of gratitude. Perhaps, this family that steals the country by conspiracy and calculation, evil has been blended into their blood.
, just like the Murong family in the north, no matter whether they have the ability or not, they will not give up the slightest bit of power."
Xu Xianzhi smiled and said: "So, I have to help you keep an eye on Sima Dewen. In fact, I always feel that he is the most restless one. Maybe he was the instigator of Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi's rebellion.
At least, that’s what he hopes for. Now that the jade seal is in his hands, he can nominally issue any edict, including declaring you a rebel and ordering the world to punish you!"
Liu Yu sighed: "As long as his brain is not broken, he wouldn't dare to act like this. It's fine to do small tricks, but if he is my enemy in person, he wouldn't dare even if he has ten courages."
Xu Xianzhi said sternly: "Don't forget, his princess has such a good relationship with Liu Tingyun that they can wear a skirt. Sometimes, if he can't do things that he can't do, he can let his wife do it. Sometimes, women can do things
, it can be more destructive than thousands of troops."
Liu Yu frowned: "To be honest, this is what I am most worried about now. Although I have made peace with Xile for the time being, Liu Tingyun, a poisonous snake, will never be content. I can't let her cause trouble in the city anymore, especially
It has something to do with Sima Dewen. You need to worry more about this."
A complicated look flashed in Xu Xianzhi's eyes: "Leave it to me, I believe I can make Liu Tingyun afraid to move at all!"
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "You and Murong Lan, recently..."
Liu Yu sighed: "I really can't hide it from you. Yes, she came to see me once. Although she said she wanted to stab me and die for love, I could see that her real intention was to make me forget her.
Marry other women and have more sons. In fact, what she wants to say is the same as what you want to say today."
Xu Xianzhi suddenly laughed: "Perhaps, she thinks that only if you proclaim yourself emperor can she seize power in Nanyan, and then the whole family submit to your country and surrender. Because, with Murong's character, she wants them to surrender to your country.
It is impossible for the Sima family. All your promises and guarantees cannot be extended after your death, but if you become the emperor, it will be different. Murong Lan is indeed a hero among women, so tall."
